As soon as this idea came to my mind, I couldn't sit still, and I lost all sleep.
I quickly sat up, picked up the phone again, and dialed Zhou Haizhen's number without even thinking about it. But what made me helpless was that her call was still unanswered.
This made me a little panicked. I lifted the quilt and got out of bed, wandering back and forth in the room.
I called every few minutes, but the result was the same, no one answered.
Now I'm completely out of calm. This is wrong. No matter what the situation is, it's impossible for Zhou Haizhen not to answer the phone at this time.
I couldn't control that much anymore, so I called Shen Kuo directly.
This time the call was answered quickly. As soon as the ringtone rang, Shen Kuo picked up the phone. Shen Kuo's hoarse voice came from inside. It sounded like he hadn't woken up yet.
I opened my mouth and got straight to the point, "Shen Kuo, where are you? Are you still in Sioux City?"
The person on the other side was probably confused by my words and muttered, "Where am I? I'm in the Xu Mansion? Don't you know that?"
Shen Ke cleared his throat, and there was the sound of turning and getting up. It seemed that he was indeed sleeping just now, but he must have been sleeping very lightly, otherwise it would be impossible for him to answer my call as soon as it passed.
"Okay, I'll be right over!" After saying that, he hung up the phone when he couldn't wait to ask again.
I raised my legs and walked out the door, but when I got to the door, I realized that I was still wearing pajamas. Xu's house was full of boys, so it was absolutely inappropriate for me to do this.
I returned to the room, quickly changed into a dress, and walked out!
As I walked, I checked the time. It was 4:45 in the morning, and most people were deep asleep at this time.
It was quiet all around, and I was anxious and walking quickly, but when I passed the living room, there was a rustling sound inside.
I stopped abruptly and listened carefully. The sound was indeed coming from the living room. I was a little confused, could it be that my dad was up? That's too early?
I walked over gently and took a look inside. But they found that the person inside was Aunt Zhang, who was taking pictures of the drawings on the coffee table with her mobile phone.
It seems that after talking to the children last night, my dad left the things here without collecting them. I didn't rush to speak, I just watched her and took several photos.
She was so focused on taking pictures that she didn't even notice that I was standing here.
When she reached out to take the big picture, I asked coldly, "Why are you taking this picture?"
Maybe it was my voice that sounded suddenly, which made Aunt Zhang tremble, and her cell phone fell to the ground with a bang. In this silent environment, the sound was very loud.
She looked at my panic-stricken eyes, her lips twitched violently, her hands had nowhere to rest, and she stammered, "Sir... Miss! I... I just want to see the paintings drawn by the children. I feel... …”
I walked over, my whole body filled with coldness, and I lowered my eyes and glanced at the drawings, "You can take a look if you want. Why do you have to be so sneaky? I see that you took the pictures very carefully. Why did you take them?"
I stretched out my hand to organize the albums and asked coldly, "Do you understand these? You just take pictures? This is the hard work of the children. If you mess it up and lose it, it will be in vain. I How come you are so curious about everything? You are always looking around!"
At this time, Chi Xi probably heard the noise and strode in. Seeing the scene in front of him, he immediately asked me, "What's going on?"
I looked at Aunt Zhang sharply, "I'm taking pictures!"
Aunt Zhang had an embarrassed look on her face, and her smiling expression was uglier than crying. She waved her hands repeatedly and said, "I... Miss, I'm not sneaking around. I... I just want to speak softly, for fear of waking everyone up. I feel that our children are so smart! I am just curious...not..."
She explained incoherently. Without even looking at her, I bent over to pick up the phone she dropped on the ground. She was about to come over and grab it.
Chi Xi stretched out his hand and blocked it in front of her. I glanced at her sharply, and she immediately retracted her hand unwillingly, "Miss, there is nothing on my phone!"
I directly looked through the photo album of her mobile phone. It didn't matter. I found that there were a lot of pictures in her mobile phone.
These pictures seemed to have been taken secretly. There were pictures of my father being very proud of each other, pictures of my mother putting things away, and pictures of the children, especially the three treasures.
There were also those who Chi Xi and I were talking to and going out together, and that time my mother and I went out to the Xu Mansion, as well as those from all angles of the small courtyard behind... I raised my eyes and looked at her and asked coldly , "Explain it, please?"
